The Prince and the Three Fates

In this episode of Tales of Bedlam, Micah and Dustin explore the Egyptian fairy tale The Prince and the Three Fates, where destiny foretells a grim end—death by dog, serpent, or crocodile. With their signature blend of irreverent humor and sharp commentary, the duo unpacks the king’s “ingenious” parenting choices, questionable fairy logic, and the prince’s eventual rebellion against fate and overprotection.

As always, no story is safe from Micah’s tangents or Dustin’s sarcasm, as they hilariously unravel the absurdities of ancient storytelling—from single-guard castles to fatal fluff balls of doom. Think Sleeping Beauty meets Final Destination, but with more bouncy castles and fewer brain cells.

Grab your headphones, your sense of humor, and prepare to get delightfully sidetracked.

What would you do if your kid’s fate was sealed by a prophecy? Would you build a mountain castle or maybe just…teach them what a dog looks like?
